HI-GRADE #1076-30 VOC-FREE FLUX
Description
HI-GRADE #1076-30 VOC-FREE FLUX is a
non-halide, voc-free, resin-free, no-residue flux specifically developed for wave
soldering, surface mount, mixed technology and through-hole electronic assemblies. HI-GRADE
#1076-30 is a water based, non-flammable formulation eliminating special storage
requirements and reducing VOC emissions dramatically. The Hi Grade # 1076-30 is
formulated to product better solderability on organic solderability preservative (OSP)
coating, and gold-over-nickel finishes.
Benefits
- VOC-Free formulation
- Excellent surface wetting
- Eliminates cleaning
- Increased activity
- Provide better solderability on alternative coatings.

Process Recommendations
HI-GRADE #1076-30 VOC-FREE FLUX can
be applied by spray or wave. The optimum preheat temperature for most circuit board
assemblies is 200-240 degree F (93-115 degree C). The conveyor speed and preheat should be
adjusted to ensure complete water removal before contact with the solder wave.
Because the HI-GRADE #1076-30 is
water based, it does not require frequent acid value monitoring. If thinning is required,
the addition of deionized water is all that is necessary.
The Hi-Grade #1076-30 may
freeze if exposed to temperatures below 32 degree F. If the flux becomes frozen, bring to
room temperature until thawed and agitate. The material is not affected by freezing.
